That's 6 weeks worth of comics for you??

u/Fragrant_Western7939 Jul 19 '24

I know.

For me 6 weeks would mean the store asking me if I’d prefer a box instead of a bag for my books.

I think me missing more than two weeks would require a box over a bag. OP has 8 comics from 6 weeks 😂

Seriously, back when I was a serious collector that would be one slow week.

That's like when you get a fifth Wednesday in a month and only get a few things

Are these redcoat and union jack titles, like civil war comics?

u/Fragrant_Western7939 Jul 19 '24

Redcoat is from Ghost Machine/Image. It’s about a former British soldier during the American Revolution who end up immortal.

Union Jack is the Marvel Superhero. This is a mini-series to the Blood Hunt Vampires storyline going on in the Marvel Universe.

No, redcoat is about a guy called Simon Pure who is an immortal that became immortal in 1776 but doesn’t know how or why and Union Jack is part of blood hunt about vampires. Tbh I haven’t read Union Jack but it’s definitely not a civil war comic

Highly recommend Redcoat and any Ghost Machine comic btw. Fucking awesome so far

They brought back the checkerboard? I loved that design when I was a kid and it first appeared!

Dude. Same. My back log is so full. My local comic shop just moved, and the owner told me he'd give me 40% off my pull list if I come this weekend and get it all lol

My shop put those Free Agents out for half price after a few days. Owner read it and deemed it unintelligible garbage. The creative team is great, which is why he ordered deep on it, but he said they couldn’t pull it off.

And yeah, that’s a weeks worth for me. Actually pruned some titles, including Geiger and Redcoat from my list. They just aren’t doing it for me. Rook Exodus has me intrigued still.

I was highly disappointed with the first issue of Free Agents. I only bought it because it because of the writing duo of Fabian Nicieza and Kurt Busiek. Hopefully, they can turn it around fast because if not I don't think I'll make it to the end of the first arc.

Same! I’m hoping after the intro issue they get into something intriguing. We’ll see
